| two new species of myxobolus (myxozoa: myxosporea: bivalvulida) infecting indian freshwater fishes in punjab wetlands (india). | a survey of parasites of freshwater fishes in harike and ropar wetlands of punjab (india) revealed the presence of two new myxosporean species belonging to the genus myxobolus butschli 1882. spores of the first species, m. duodenalis sp. nov. parasitize the inner wall of the duodenum of wallago attu (bloch and schneider) (cypriniformis: cyprinidae) vern. mulli are characterized by a broad, pyriform shape with a blunt anterior end and measures 9.0 +ù 3.20 ++m. spore valves are thin, smooth, and s ... | 2011 | 21394535 |
| prevalence, site and tissue preference of myxozoan parasites infecting gills of cultured fish in punjab (india). | native carp species cultured in indian farms in punjab (catla catla catla, rohu labeo rohita, mrigal cirrhinus mrigala, exotic carps such as silver carp hypophthalmichthys molitrix, grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella, common carp cyprinus carpio and a catfish sperata seenghala) were examined for the presence of myxozoan parasites infecting gills. firstly, the gills were examined under a zoom-stereomicroscope for the presence of plasmodia. the number of plasmodia per gill was counted to determine ... | 2016 | 26912043 |
| a new pathogen, myxobolus holzerae (myxosporea: myxozoa) causing severe gill disease in an indian major carp labeo rohita in a cold water wetland, punjab (india). | the indian major carp, labeo rohita hamilton, 1822 is a tropical freshwater cyprinid fish native to inland waters in asia. herein, we describe a novel myxozoan forming plasmodia in the gill lamellae of l. rohita from ranjit sagar wetland in punjab, india. myxospores were consistent with the genus myxobolus, round to elliptical in valvular view, lemon shaped in side view with a characteristic protrusion at the anterior end and a round posterior end; length 7.65 ± 0.07 μm, width 4.62 ± 0.09 μm. th ... | 2017 | 28870697 |
